Milk Crate recycling…not recycling milk crates
|
|
| We all know recycling is a good thing. But you probably forget that without milkcrates you’d have nothing good to carry all the crap around. There’s nothing like a white kid doing a good gansta pose to catch my attention. –> Give incentive… |
Milk crates are everywhere online…
|
|
| Milkcrates are all over the internet these days, and I’ve been seeing hits on my crate radar from every corner of the web. The above picture is from Australia, we’ve seen some of these before, but 12ozprophet.com‘s forums have a nice little gallery of the lot.
Something called crookedbrains.com has a great post with all kinds of crate creations. –> How creative can you get with crates One of my favorite sites, makezine has recently posted a milkcrate post as well. –> Milkcrate chandelier and roundup |
Milkcrate furniture
|
|
| Apartment Therapy.com wrote a great little piece about the transformative milkcrate and it’s many uses by designers and artists. Some of these works have already been seen here on Milkcrate Digest.com. (we are on the crate edge of the milkcrate lifestyle…but you know this) –> Reusing Milk Crates |
Panda attacks milkcrate

| This poor milk crate was attacked (maybe not attcked, maybe they are in love) by Tai Shan the panda at the National Zoo in DC. –> more pics of Tai Shan the panda by Simba on the 17th |
Milkcrate Peeping Tom
|
|
| Local news is probably one of the worst things about our current society. In this amazing dramatization they’ve recreated a milkcrate boosted pervert, who was caught by local police. Also, his face looks like a bad 3-D scan. –> Fischers police arrest alleged peeping Tom |

|

Port-A-Crate

|
| From Paintball Nation forums someone came up with a genius milkcrate port-a-potty modification. I think the graphic (above) speaks for itself. Read the full post and comments –> Crate Potty |
NY Times, video about a milkcrate hoop
|
|
| I’m fairly certain that most people think that my fascination with milkcrates is more than a little silly. The NY Times is a respectable media outlet – and they just posted this little video about some young boys who posted their very own milkcrate basketball hoop in Brooklyn. See, I’m not the only one interested in such things! See the video here –> Milk Crate as Basketball Hoop, a Symbol of Urban Ingenuity |
Art making with metal(crates)
|
|
| I don’t know why the scultor’s web site is called blue sloth. But, he makes some crazy stuff out of metal and he is fond of milkcrates. I’ve even posted about his once in the past. The pic above, shows the use of an old school metal milkcrate – the roots run deep. –> Tools of the Trade |
